Abstract: Automatic generation of in-store product information and navigation guidance, using Augmented Reality (AR) and a Vision-and-Language Model (VLM) and multi-modal Artificial Intelligence (AI). An automated method includes: providing to the VLM images that are captured within a retailer venue by an electronic device that is a smartphone or an AR device or smart glasses; (b) automatically feeding into the VLM those images, or pre-sliced or pre-cropped image-portions of those images that were sliced or cropped using Machine Learning that performs object boundaries detection and not product recognition; (c) invoking the VLM to generate outputs of VLM analysis of content of those fed images or image-portions. The VLM outputs can be: VLM-based product recognition, VLM-based product-related information, VLM-generated virtual shopping assistance, VLM-generated in-store navigation guidance, or other VLM-generated outputs.

Abstract: System, device, and method of Augmented Reality based mapping of a venue and navigation within a venue. A method includes: performing a crowd-sourced mapping process, that maps a retail store and maps particular products sold within that retail store, based on computer-vision analysis of a plurality of images captured by a plurality of end-user devices of customers within that retail store; and generating a representation of a store map reflecting actual real-time location of particular products within that retail store. Turn-by-turn walking directions are provided, to guide the user from his current in-store location towards a destination product within that retail store. Augmented Reality promotions, advertisements and marketing content elements, route guidance, and other content are generated and displayed on the end-user device.
